Dear Editor,
Amazing. I read Ms. Dilms remarks regarding myspace.com and
before I even finished reading her paragraph I new it was from a
teenager. How? I had just heard the exact same comments from my own
14-year-old
– moments after hearing the news of the girls molested in
Middletown, CT.
Dear Editor,
Amazing. I read Ms. Dilms remarks regarding myspace.com and before I even finished reading her paragraph I new it was from a teenager. How? I had just heard the exact same comments from my own 14-year-old – moments after hearing the news of the girls molested in Middletown, CT.
As a vigilant parent of three teens and a preschooler, these types of remarks from teenagers just reinforce the fact that teenagers do not have the maturity, common sense or discerning abilities to recognize the terrible repercussions that can happen from being “trusting” or by believing “its not that bad, Mom.”
Yes, schools, libraries and other institution have a moral obligation to block these dangerous avenues from our children. I thank Ms. Dilm, as she has just provided me with another “teachable moment” for me with my teenagers.
